Wellington in the 50s - Walton Court

Remembers shops in wellington – Macfisheries, sold fish

Little Espley by Methodist chapel

Big Espley – butchers

They sold cooked meats, sausages, bacon used to queue and they let 6 in at a time

By Chad Valley = Frosts the bakers Chinese laundry further on next to Austin’s paper shop

Tilsley’ general store for groceries 

Half way up High street = Overy the butchers. Abattoir behind – many a time a cow would escape down the street

Lena the sick woman – sold kindling for the fire

Co-op – central ordering and paying – went up a chute
